Spreading knowledge about the things that matter

Top 10 Reasons Prom is Better as a Chaperone:

1) It’s free
2) You’re not worried about a date, you just want to enjoy the food and dance
3) No one gets jealous over who you dance with/near
4) There’s no after party, you can just go home and sleep afterwards
5) No one asks you to dance because they are all your students so you don’t have to worry about awkward pairings you didn’t want to be a part of in the first place
6) No corsage to purchase or boutineer…man those things were a pain to pin on
7) No date demanding that you match them perfectly
8) You have more self confidence and care less about what other people think so there is no cares about how silly your dancing looks
9) You don’t have to rent a tux, clothing you already own will suffice
10) There’s no feeling that makes you happier than perching on the stairs for the last song, watching everyone come together to belt out “Don’t Stop Believing”

Bonus: Seeing how sweet and inclusive everyone is of students with disabilities.

All in all, prom is pretty awesome when you’re 26. I hope it’s just as cool at 27.
